The Coaches

Chiu Kwong Man – Guard Seminar

Chiu Kwong Man began training back in August 2002 at the ripe old age of 36, seven and a half years later he was the first person to be awarded a black belt by Braulio Estima in January 2010. Having won multiple titles, Chiu has now retired from competition in order to concentrate on continually developing his own club, Team Renegade. Excellent with or without the gi, Chiu firmly believes in the little man being able to outwit and out leverage the bigger man. He demonstrates this nowhere better than with his devasting guard game which he will share with us at the seminar . If you want to know more about Chiu check out the ‘Fighting Talk’ episode of the podcast

Nathan Leverton – Leglock Seminar

Nathan Leverton is a lifelong martial artist, Head Coach of the Leicester Shootfighters team and founder of the Leverage Submission Grappling system.

Nathan is particularly well known in the UK for his work with Team Rough House who he coached and cornered for over 40 fights; including 10 UFC bouts for Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy, Andre Winner and Nick Osipczak. In 2010 he retired from his role coaching the team to focus on building his own gym, Leicester MMA Academy.

He has written for and been featured in many publications including Men’s Fitness Magazine, Fighter’s Only, Fighting Fit, MMA Unlimited and Martial Arts Illustrated.

Widely regarded as an all-round technician, few would argue that the strongest part of Nathans games is his leg locks, having spent time perfecting this area with the likes of Dean Lister, Roli Delgado and Ryan Hall. This enabled him to pick up the bronze medal in the 2012 NAGA European Advanced Division despite having not competed for six years.
